Welcome to amanda hayden photography

I have been drawn to photographs for as long as I can remember. There was something so surreal in how time would stand still on paper. With the click of a shutter the world could stop. That moment forever remained. I get so excited about every chance I have to snap photos and am always looking for ways to be unique and creative with what I do. I strive to capture life as it happens. Some fun tidbits about me...

- I wear flip flops until it snows, and the snow has to stick!
- I have a 1 year old who is FULL of personality and is the center of my world!
- I used to live and work in the Dominican Republic
- I'm addicted to Pinterest!
- I have 6 tattoos
- I'm training for a marathon (EEK!)
- I LOVE taking pictures!

Sweet Baby Emily – Ottawa Newborn Photographer

March 20, 2012

Is there anything better in the world than the smell of a newborn?? This is the second time I’ve had the opportunity to shoot this family, and I can’t believe how big Alex has gotten already! Alex was only 4 months old the first time we met, and now he’s 3, and a big brother! Little sister Emily was only 11 days old and such a sweet heart! She didn’t want to miss out on the party for the majority of the shoot, but she couldn’t resist sleep in the end! Thank you for welcoming me into your home to capture some of the beginning of what will be a great life! Enjoy your sneak peek!!

Of course I couldn’t leave without taking some pictures of big brother Alex too!! This little guy is soooo in love with trains! Just the cutest thing ever!! It melted my heart when he sang the whole Thomas The Train theme song! Swoon! hehehe
